No sound

[larsbjorndal]

The mp3 file I try to play seems to be loaded, but no sound can be heard from the speaker, which is a System Audio Legend 5.2 Silverback. The debug looks like this:

This last line indicates it wasn't able to load the media properly on the Chromecast:

Have you been able to confirm that that file can be played on the Chromecast? Not sure if you have Chrome, but you can cast files through Chrome to the Chromecast and that might be worth trying to ensure that the file is valid for the Chromecast.

I can confirm that the file in question plays nicely from Chrome.
